Abstract The Round Table Conference (RTC) was a series of three conferences held between 1930 and 1932 in London, organized by the British Government to discuss constitutional reforms in India. These conferences were a direct outcome of the Simon Commission (1927) and were convened to discuss the Government of India Act, 1935.The First Round Table Conference (1930–31) was boycotted by the Indian National Congress due to the ongoing Civil Disobedience Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi. However, representatives from other Indian communities and princely states participated. The Second Round Table Conference (1931) saw the participation of Mahatma Gandhi as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress, following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. However, it failed due to disagreements over minority representation and separate electorates. The Third Round Table Conference (1932) had minimal participation from Indian leaders and was largely ineffective, leading the British to unilaterally pass the Government of India Act, 1935. The RTCs were significant in shaping India's constitutional framework, but their failure to achieve consensus delayed India's path to independence.
